Pursue Transformation.

the coming
of the kingdom

We want to recover Jesus’ emphasis on the kingdom for the renewal of the church and the healing of the world.

the sending
of the spirit

We desire to teach the church how to be fully Trinitarian, how to have a sensible, robust relationship with the Holy Spirit.

the forming
of a people

We seek to train the church to cast vision for, explain and encourage Christ-centered, kingdom-oriented, Spirit-empowered practices of whole-life transformation.

50 Years of Ministry,

One Lifelong Calling

As a convert in the Southern California Jesus Movement, Todd Hunter began ministry in 1976 as a Methodist Youth Pastor. In 1979 he planted one of the first Calvary Chapels in the Eastern US (Wheeling, WV), which in ensuing years became a Vineyard Church. Todd was the founding bishop of the Anglican diocese Churches for the Sake of Others, was the founder of The Center for Formation, Justice and Peace, and the founding pastor of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Costa Mesa, CA. He is past President of Alpha USA and former National Director for the Association of Vineyard Churches. Todd has also been an adjunct professor at leading seminaries and universities.

Teaching

Centering the Life
and Teachings of Jesus

Our teaching focuses on the practical implications of taking Jesus seriously on —

  • The Coming of the Kingdom
  • The Sending of the Spirit
  • The Forming of a People

Retreats

Un-cluttered Moments
with the Master

Sitting still with our Master, Jesus, we cultivate ears to hear him and the things that were most important to him. At our retreats, teaching is leisurely and conversational and there are opportunities for quiet contemplation and space for retreatants to receive prayer.

Seminars

Deep Dive Into
the Priorities of Jesus

Weekend intensive seminars are perfect for exploring the worldview of Jesus which in turn strengthens churches in the kingdom, the Spirit, and formational practices.

Coaching

Aligning Leadership
to the Priorities of Jesus

We provide one-on-one coaching for leaders who need help guiding their churches/ministries into kingdom living, the reception of the Spirit and the mission of the church.
